Hi, my name is Gaomon, created by Dylan. One day, I was just sitting there doing nothing. So I decided to create an alien-watch prototype, and a then better version of the prototype. Discovering is awesome!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

Catapults were used before guns. They were used in medieval times. They were used to break the walls in the kingdom. A catapult gets its energy when soldiers tie a string so they can cut the rope holding the arm. The materials I will need are marshmallows, string, wheels, tape, and very tiny wood, to build my catapult.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
